Chebe Rolls with Fresh Herbs and Parmesan Cheese

"Slightly unusual. Unusually good." That is Chebe's motto. Pronounced chee-bee, it is a unique bread product based on the Brazilian pao de queijo (Brazilian cheese bread) made primary of manioc/tapioca flour and starch. Anyone who tries this bread instantly gets hooked on it. The texture is soft and chewy with a light and crisp exterior, but unlike any bread you have ever had before. The taste is clean and versatile. I was first introduced to Chebe bread about five years ago when I attended a Cincinnati Support Group pot luck lunch. I never had anything like it before. So chewy, tender, doughy, and delicious yet crispy on the outside. Since then, Chebe has become my first choice for bread in form of whatever go best for what I am making: bread rolls, bread sticks, naan, focaccia, baguettes, pizza, crackers, even for pigs in the blanket or beef wellingtons. Chebe has tons of recipes on their web site. So when people ask me, "If you can't bread, what do you eat?" I happily say "Chebe." It is bound to be everyone's favorite bread regardless if they need to eat gluten free or not.

Wow. I found a great new recipe and a learned about a new kind of food (bread) I had never heard of before. It looks delicious and so adaptable. Score!

Anyway, I found you on TasteSpotting and am writing to say that if you have any photos that aren’t accepted there, I’d love to publish them. Visit my new site (below), it’s a lot of fun! I hope you will consider it.
